Lung doctors at Amsterdam UMC can destroy lung tumors without surgeryLung doctors at Amsterdam UMC have performed a new treatment on patients with small lung tumors: bronchoscopic microwave ablation. Through a thin tube in the airways, the lung tumor is heated with microwaves and destroyed, without the need for surgery.
Lung cancer detected four months earlier at GP with artificial intelligenceIn the future, GPs will be able to identify patients at increased risk of lung cancer up to 4 months earlier than at present. GPs can simply do this during the consultation with an algorithm created by researchers at Amsterdam UMC. The results of the study were published today in the British Journal of General Practice.
